Hawaiians
There is a tropical atmosphere...although it is far away
Because there is warmth of feeling - that will never decay.
The one is of termperature...and in the Southern Seas
The other is here with us today - and has more meaning for me.
The islands out in the Pacific...have a beauty about each one
The ones that are here today - are far more beautiful than all of them.
The Islands are a home to many...and visitors are never few
But the islands that I think about - are always coming back to you.
God place Hawaii...as a physical paradise
God plaed all of you here in our family - to help each other thru life.
I have been to the islands of Hawaii...and may go back again, sometime
But I will never have enough of my family - to help to share this rhyme.
For I have learned that Family...though we seldom meet
Are the islands in my life - that I will always need.
So, I thank God for each one of you...and pray for you each day
Because I love each one of you islands - and that's all I have to say!
(Written to honor my family at our reunion this month)
